The new Photo & Graphic Designer
More time for creativity
The improved workflow in the new version frees up more time for you to concentrate on design. Create pixel-exact designs in the new, razor-sharp HiDPI workspace – exactly the way you imagined them.
Improved workflow
Let your ideas take center stage
Enjoy the new workflow and focus on what's most important: Your design. Create designs exactly the way you imagined them in the new, razor-sharp HiDPI workspace using the modern handles. Editing PDF files is easier than ever before using PDF Editor 4.0.
HiDPI support
The new, razor-sharp program interface now delivers high-resolution textures and optimal contrast for 4K monitors. That means you can make pixel-exact adjustments without straining your eyes.
New handles
Modern, significantly larger handles for the selection tool, SmartShapes, the selection tool, QuickShape tool and Shape tool enable user-friendly modifications to the size and rotation of your project's objects.
New rotation workflow
The new rotation workflow makes it possible to move several objects around a common axis point. Simply activate Rotate mode and place a point anywhere in the document.
PDF Editor 4.0
The PDF Editor 4.0 now offers more accurate import and also displays embedded fonts. Replace images and texts or fill out forms directly in PDF documents. This helps you save time editing PDF files
Save settings
When you upgrade to a new version, Xara Photo & Graphic Designer will maintain the customizations you have made to its performance. Now, all settings will be transferred across versions, including customizations like, for example, the button palette.
New design functions:
